Educational Options

Developmental Education Program

The Developmental Education (DE) program offers courses to help you prepare for college in College Success Experience (CSE), English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), Integrated Reading and Writing (IRW), and Math. Courses are numbered 0100 – 0999.

Integrated Reading and Writing (IRW) 0970 is a combination of the previous ENG 0550, ENG 0750, and RDG 0750 courses. IRW 0980 is a combination of the previous RDG 0950 and ENG 0950 courses. Rather than take 6 credits of Reading and English, the courses have been combined and streamlined into a one 3-credit integrated course offered at two levels.

SAGE offers a series of leveled English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes below the 1000 level which focus on the different skills areas. In addition to this developmental education sequence of ESOL courses, SAGE also offers an ESOL Certificate of Completion in Culture and Communication. This certificate is linked to a specific career or technical field at CNM.
